 ## skimming
 Skimming is reading for gist, between the lines, in a semi-distracted state. A way to get the main idea of a text quickly, flipping pages, jumping pages with the spacebar, infinitely scrolling. I think of the pastime of skimming stones, as my eyes jump in [saccades](http://suncityvision.com/photos/info-eyemovements1.jpg) over the surface of the text.
 
-Many folk prefer to read from paper than from a screen. A common complaint is that reading from a screen is tiring, especially when you just want the gist of a text. TL;DR. Sometimes this is precipitated by information about how long it will take to read an article or essay online.
+Many prefer to read from paper than from a screen. Who has not heard complaints that reading from a screen is tiring, especially when you just want the gist of a text? tl;dr. Sometimes online articles are accompanied by information about how long it will take to read them. Max word count 400-600 words.
 
 ## scanning
 Scanning is reading for particular details such as names and numbers by running one's eyes over every word in a line. Sometimes I find myself using a finger to guide my eyes when scanning a printed text. With a computer and full-text search capabilities, it's often as simple as pressing control- or command-F.
